BEAUTY UNDERGROUND PROFILE

JEWERLY AND WHITE BLOUSES (BOTH PAGES) FROM GARBARINI WWW.GARBARINISHOP.COM

BEAUTY UNDERGROUND PROFILE

Co-­President of Marketing for Scruples Haircare You, your brother Frank and sister Mia took over the family business from your father Frank Ligouri and his business partner Jack Storey, what is your favorite part of Scruples now that you are in the driver's seat?

WE MADE THE DECISION TO REINVENT THE ENTIRE COMPANY, HOLDING ONTO THE FOUNDATION OF WHAT BROUGHT US TO THE PARTY, WHILE AT THE SAME TIME TAKING A 30 YEAR OLD BRAND, AND MAKING IT LOOK FRESH. You are the co-­president in charge of marketing for Scruples, since you are the business expert, what do you think is the biggest challenge facing the professional salon industry today?

I WANT THE PROFESSIONAL BEAUTY INDUSTRY TO THRIVE AND FOR SALONS TO ENJOY SUCCESS. BOTH RETAIL AND SERVICE DIVERSION THREATENS THE VERY CORE OF THE BEAUTY BUSINESS. Is it true that you are obsessed with Coach bags? If so, what about them tickles you so much?

I LOVE BAGS! COACH, MICHAEL KORS, LOUIS VUITTON, GUCCI. I LOVE THEM ALL! What is the biggest mistake hairstylists are making in business right now?

HAIR STYLISTS HOLD TREMENDOUS POWER WITHIN THE BEAUTY INDUSTRY AND I DON'T THINK THAT MOST REALIZE THIS STRENGTH. You modeled in high school. How did it feel to step in front of the camera again for BEAUTY UNDERGROUND? I THOROUGHLY ENJOYED STEPPING IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA, ESPECIALLY WITH THE SESSION EXPERTISE OF CHARLIE PRICE. IT WAS A GREAT EXPERIENCE, I FELT AS BEAUTIFUL AS I DID IN HIGH SCHOOL.

You and your family are pretty mellow. You are Italians, do you ever get passionate and scream and yell?

OH YEAH!!! WE ARE VERY PASSIONATE AND EVEN SPEAK WITH OUR HANDS AS ITALIANS DO. What is your favorite new Scruples product?

SCRUPLES HIGH DEFINITION HAIR SPRAY IS A PRODUCT I CANNOT LIVE WITHOUT. You, Mia and your brother Frank Jr. are highly involved in NAHA (The North American Hairstyling Awards) and it's umbrella organization The Professional Beauty Association. What is the big deal with these groups?

PBA IS AN ORGANIZATION THAT BRINGS ALL OF THE PARTS OF THE BEAUTY BUSINESS TOGETHER AND WORKS FOR THE BETTERMENT OF THE WHOLE SALON IN-­ IN DUSTRY. You and Mia (we asked her this question as well) have travelled around the world with Scruples. What is your favorite place?

I LOVE TO TRAVEL AND WOULD LIKE TO SEE MORE OF THE WORLD BUT OF ALL THE PLACES I HAVE TRAVELED SO FAR ITALY WOULD BE MY FAVORITE.

It seems like you might have somewhere a bit of a wild streak like your sister Mia, is that true?

I‘LL NEVER TELL! YOU‘LL KNOW WHEN YOU SEE IT -­ :)

BEAUTY UNDERGROUND PROFILE Co-­President of Creative for Scruples Haircare

How much fun is it to own a Haircare company? It seems like you are always so happy.

I WOULD BE LYING IF I SAID IT ISN'T FABULOUS! IT TAKES A LOT OF HARD WORK AND DEDICATION BUT THIS INDUSTRY HAS SO MUCH ENERGY, I FEED OFF OF IT. AS FAR AS BEING HAPPY, I THINK IT IS A MIND SET. I CHOOSE TO FOCUS ON THE PO-­ SITIVE. Scruples has been around for over thirty years. What's new with the company days?

these

IT IS EASIER TO TELL YOU WHAT ISN'T NEW. IN THE PAST FOUR YEARS WE HAVE HAVE REPACKAGED THE ENTIRE SCRUPLES PRODUCT RANGE AND HAVE INTRODUCED INDIE HAIR, A SMALL, COOL LINE OF HAIRCARE TARGETED TO A YOUNGER DEMO-­ GRAPHIC. IN JANUARY WE WILL INTRODUCE THE NEW LOOK OF OUR PEARL CLASSIC COLLECTION. IF YOU HAVEN'T MET PEARL, CHECK HER OUT. SHE HAS NEVER LOOKED BETTER. SHE WAS INTRODUCED IN 1983 AND RE-­IMAGINED FOR TODAY. Scruples is in over twenty-­three countries and you have travelled the globe. What is your favorite city?

WOW! THAT IS A HARD QUESTION. WE HAD A LARGE PRODUCT LAUNCH IN CHINA A FEW YEARS AGO AND TRAVELED TO SEVERAL CITIES THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY. I LOVED SHANGHAI. THE OPULENCE IS JAW-­DROPPING. I ALSO ADORE ITALY, ANY AND ALL CITIES. THERE IS A PASSION IN THERE THAT YOU CANNOT CONTAIN. A PASSION FOR FOOD, WINE, FASHION, FAMILY AND THE MEN ARE BEAUTIFUL. If you could wear only one designer for the rest of your life, who would it be?

AS YOU MATURE, SO DOES YOUR STYLE. ONE DESIGNER FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE, IT WOULD BE ARMANI BECAUSE THE SCOPE OF BRAND. MY FAVORITE DESIGNER RIGHT NOW, AT THIS STAGE OF MY LIFE, IS EMILIO PUCCI. What is your favorite hair trend at the moment?

I LOVE THE PLUM BROWNS THAT ARE ALL OVER IN CLOTHING FASHION AND IN HAIR COLOR. SCRUPLES TRUE INTEGRITY COLOUR CRÈME IS INTRODUCING A BLACKBERRY SERIES THAT IS GORGEOUS. I AM ALSO HAPPY TO SEE WOMEN FINALLY CUTTING THEIR HAIR AGAIN. THANKS TO VICTORIA SECRET MODEL KARLIE KLOSS, THE TEXTU-­ RED BOB IS HOT. What is on your playlist these days?

I LIKE A WIDE RANGE OF MUSIC. I CHOOSE THE STYLE BASED ON WHAT I AM DOING. AT THE MOMENT I HAVE BEEN LISTENING TO A LOT OF ELECTRONIC BY THE SWEDISH BAND KOOP. I ALSO LIKE DRAGONETTE, KLAYPEX, SICK OF SARAH, THE CONSTELLATIONS, BRUNO MARS, MAROON 5, ANNA NALICK AND EVEN SOME COUN-­ TRY POP. What celebrity would you most like to make over?

ANGELINA JOLIE. I THINK SHE IS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL BUT HER LOOK IS SO PLAIN. You are a hairstylist but you have moved into a corporate job as co-­president in charge of creative -­ however amazing that sounds -­ do you miss doing hair?

YES! THERE IS AN IMMEDIATE GRATIFICATION THAT COMES FROM DOING HAIR AND TRANSFORMING PEOPLE. IN THE CORPORATE WORLD, YOU WORK ON A PROJECT THAT TAKES A YEAR TO COMPLETE. IN THE SALON, EACH GUEST IS A PROJECT THAT YOU SEE THROUGH FROM CONCEPT TO COMPLETION. YOU GET PRAISE THROUGHOUT THE DAY WHEN THEY LOVE THEIR LOOK. IT IS A GREAT FEELING. Sexy is...???

WEARING A PAIR OF DELICIOUS DESIGNER SHOES AND YOUR SIGNATURE PERFUME. Scruples is growing by leaps and bounds these days, do you feel drunk with power ??

HAHA, USUALLY WHEN I AM DRUNK IT IS ON WINE NOT POWER. WE HAVE ALL BEEN WORKING SO HARD TO TAKE SCRUPLES, A THIRTY YEAR OLD GEM AND POLISH HER UP SO SHE SHINES BRIGHTER THAN EVER. I FEEL LIKE 2014 WILL BE THE FIRST TIME WE CAN TAKE A BREATH. I AM EXCITED FOR THE FUTURE OF SCRUPLES AND THE POWERFUL POSITION THE COMPANY IS GAINING IN THE INDUSTRY.

BEAUTY UNDERGROUND

UNDERGROUND ARTISTS Hair Stylist and Photographer

How would you describe your style as a hairdresser?

MY STYLE IS ROCKER CHIC, I LOVE SUITS WITH A ROCKER TWIST OR JUST WALKING AROUND IN MY SUPER MAN UNDIES! What inspires your work?

I'M INSPIRED BY SO MUCH, VIDEO, TECHNOLOGY, NATURE AND MY PEERS. I LOVE SEARCHING OUT STUFF ON MY COMPUTER, IT'S LIKE A CHALLENGE TO FIND WHAT I NEVER SEEN BEFORE. SO MANY ARTIST AND THINGS THAT INSPIRE MY CREATIONS. You are a salon owner, a platform artist and photographer, what part of your career do you love most?

I LOVE CREATING! HAIRDRESSING ON STAGE HAS ALLOWED ME TO GO PLACES I'VE NEVER DREAMED I WOULD GO. HAIRDRESSING IN THE SALON HAS ALLOWED ME TO CONNECT WITH SO MANY DIFFERENT PERSONALITIES, I GET TO LIVE VICARIOUSLY THROUGH THEM. SO I WHEN IT COMES TO WHAT I LOVE MOST? I LOVE MY LIFE! EVERYDAY IS DIFFERENT, FROM POST PRODUCTION, TO WORKING IN MY STUDIO CREATING THE UNKNOWN, TO SALON LIFE, TO A GREAT PERSONAL LIFE. Who are your all time hair icons?

MY ALL TIME ICONS ARE ROBERT LOBETTA, ANGELO SEMINARA, X PRESSION. Do women always throw their panties onstage when you perform at hair shows?

HAHA…. I WISH. NO REALLY, WHEN I'M ONSTAGE I'M OBLIVIOUS TO THAT. I REALLY JUST TRY TO MAKE SURE AT LEAST ONE PERSON IN THE AUDIENCE IS WALKING AWAY WITH SOME VALUABLE INFORMATION OR SOME LADIES PANTIES THAT WERE ON THE STAGE. What is your greatest achievement as a hairstylist so far?

WINNING NAHA AVANT GARDE 2011 How did that feel?

IT FELT AMAZING!!! THE THING THAT WAS AMAZING ABOUT THAT YEAR WAS PBA RELEASED THE WINNERS THE FRIDAY BEFORE THE WEEKEND TO INDUSTRY PUBLI-­ CATIONS. I GOT THE PUBLICATION AND THE SALON GOT IT. I ASKED EVERYBODY THAT KNEW TO NOT TELL ME IF I DID WIN. IT WAS JUST A CRAZY WEEKEND BE-­ CAUSE SOME PEOPLE THAT WERE NOMINATED THAT SOUGHT OUT THE PUBLI-­ CATIONS, CANCELED THEIR TRIPS SINCE THEY DIDN'T WIN. You have done work for Revlon Professional in Canada a lot. Are you big in Canada?

AM I BIG… NOT COMPARED TO THE PEOPLE I LOOK UP TO THAT EDUCATE WORLDWIDE! I WOULD RESPECTFULLY SAY I LOVE TO SHARE MY KNOWLEDGE IN CANADA AND HOPE TO GET UP THERE A LOT MORE! What music do you like these days?

I'M A BIG ELECTRONICA MUSIC FAN. I LOVE ANYTHING WITH A BEAT, I GUESS YOU COULD SAY I'M GAY LIKE THAT. NO REALLY, I FIND ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING IN MY LIFE NEEDS TO HAVE A SEX APPEAL OR BE SEXY INCLUDING MY MUSIC. BEATS INSPIRE ME TO CREATE, BEATS INSPIRE ME DAY DREAM! Is it true that you love champagne?

I LOOOOOOOOOOOVE CHAMPAGNE!!!
